This is called TOLERANCE. And you need to start thinking about BRAIN STIMULATION in the same way. The secret to happiness, success and motivation is reducing your tolerance to stimuli.
Stimulating your brain 24/7 literally builds tolerance to LIFE SATISFACTION. Constantly keeping yourself entertained with music and TV, chans, porn, drinking caffeine, using stimulating drugs etc, all make 'normal' things less bright to your brain.
On the other hand if you starve your brain of entertainment, it LOSES this tolerance, so normal and boring stuff suddenly becomes interesting. Just looking out the window or doing tasks gives you entertainment and satisfaction.
Alcohol is a great bonus, the depressing effect makes your brain much less sensitive to stimuli. That's why the oldest and happiest people like to sit out on their porch with a scotch, or wine in south Europe.
In conclusion, coffee isn't bad for your body but it's bad for your happiness and motivation. Set aside an hour every day to 'meditate' (just do nothing and muse), have a glass of wine with lunch like Italians (some of the happiest people) have done for generations, and cut out all hyperstimulation like porn, coffee, drugs etc.
Also, this zero sum of stimuli-tolerance:happiness-motivation is really important for children, and it explains why there's a massive rise in ADHD in kids, who are hyperstimulated by screens almost from birth.

Do basically you should be sad m and miserable all the time to be happy more easily. The reason you cant feel happiness is because you feel too much happiness all the time and you are just too tolerant to it. Happy people are just happy on the outside and as soon as they are alone in a room they cry and cut themself... And so on.
Its amazing how any concept and theory can be applied to any other subject and its still perfecty accurate

It's good for you in small doses.
Alexander Ortiz
Vastly overstated benefits. It's an indulgence, not a boon.
Lucas Davis
Wrong. The fact you associate being peaceful for an hour with 'sadness and misery' shows you are addicted to stimulation. People used to get satisfaction just from going about their pretty boring lives, with no screens. That was how low their tolerance for stimulation was.
I've been practicing this for a couple of weeks and I'm now way more content sitting on my sofa looking out the window and thinking to myself. Nothing miserable about that. It makes you more motivated to go and improve your life too, since you're capable of being content with a boring task rather than needing to run back to your screen the second your stimulation level falls.
Look at the suicide rate of Buddhist monks (almost non existent), they sit around meditating 16 hours a day. I wouldn't take it that far but I've met some and they are deeply happy, without needing anything at all.

Getting drunk is an indulgence.
Having one glass of wine in a day is mentally beneficial and physically does nothing. Except since it calms you mentally, it's probably physically beneficial too.
Jacob Brown
What if being peacful makes you happy, than after a while youd be so tolerant that it just bores you
>Couple of weeks and talking about monks who do this 20 years. Youre so full of your self
>Suicide rate They live in countries where the overall suicide rate is almost 0, suicide usually haooens just in 1st world countries where life is so easy and dull that people dont have anything to live for so they might just kill themself.
Btw i know buddhist monks, they fucking hate it and use any opertunity to be hedonistic. How would you feel if your family sells you at 6 years old into monkhood you cant have any material posession and get beaten with a stick if you dont wake up at 4am to go around begging for food.

i wonder who propagates the studies that alcohol is good for you? no, no, no, it definitely wouldn't be the alcohol companies themselves lmao that would be ridiculous. marketing, amiright? i'm going to go drink some protein now because the label says "stimulates muscle growth" I'M GOING TO BE SO Yas Forums AFTER THIS SHAKE LADS

The benefits of dopamine fasting are real, it's as simple as that. You can bitch and pilpul abotu it all you want idc
>studies
Meh. Many of the world's oldest people drink every day and swear by it, countries with light drinking cultures like France have low heart disease rates, that plus my intuition that a small amount is healthy is enough for me.
Connor Bell
fasting (not just from food) should be a regular part of life
Juan James
>Many of the world's oldest people drink every day and swear by it My great grandmother smoked cigs from teenage years up until her death in her 90's, so what?
>countries with light drinking cultures like France have low heart disease rates they are also much more active in daily life and in general than many other countries
Jeremiah Powell
>meditation
Hmmm, yes. Sitting there with my eyes closed and just breathing will definitely improve my life.
Face it, your life must be pretty shitty if meditating once a day somehow brings your life improvement.
If that makes you happy about having a shitty life and you feel ok about not having a lot of natural dopamin triggers in your life.... enjoy buddy, because coping seem to be the only thing you have left that keeps you going.

*pushes trollop into pond* Ahem. Children attend this park, "madame."
For the normal person absolutely. For guys who are lifting and actively trying to put on muscle....any alcohol halts protein synthesis. I dont think theres anything wrong with drinking in moderation but as a lifter it's pretty counterintuitive and I would use it sparingly.

Thank you, user OP, for your bullshit regurgitated bro-science that nobody gives two fucks about.
Joshua Flores
I don't know about that, and even if that's the case most people do not drink in small doses.

Congratulations you're an alcoholic preaching about how bad coffee and porn are for your brain when that's not even based in fact.

This. I got fucked by this hard, and it’s really making life annoying even at 23. I cannot concentrate on anything that I’m not super excited about. Studying is really hard and I zone out whenever I’m having a conversation with anyone. This is especially annoying when they’re saying something important, because as soon as the conversation is over I’m like “fuck what was I supposed to do,” leaving me with the option of trying to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing myself or going back and asking them to repeat everything they just said like I’m retarded. I CONSTANTLY misplace shit like my wallet, keys, phone, etc because I’m always off in my head and pay no attention to what I’m doing, ie. laying my keys down. Do not let your kids near screens, Baby Einstein is ironically one of the worst things you can do for your child topped only by cartoons. There’s a really cool ted talk on how destructive virtually any media is for the developing brain I watched as part of a psych course, I’ll post it if I can dig through my notes on my laptop from college later. If your kid is bored, go for a walk, play catch, take a scenic drive with them, do literally anything but toss them an iPad. ADHD sucks and it makes for a very frustrating existence, and seems to compound any other mental shit you have going on. Like if you’re kinda depressed, it makes you feel like you’re completely fucking useless and can’t do anything right, including keeping track of your keys you had thirty fucking seconds ago god damn it.
DO NOT LET YOUR KID HAVE SCREENS, BABY EINSTEIN IS THE DEVIL

>link youtu.be/BoT7qH_uVNo If you’re interested. It definitely had an impact on how I’ll parent. I highly suggest anyone in college take a low level psych course. It makes things make more sense.

I’m doing a dopamine detox since confinement, i noticed that everytime i give in to my urges, i feel very miserable afterwards even if what i did was very pleasurable. Music, tv, porn... are fun, but i’m always happy when i’m away from them. Combine that with meditation, i realized how overactive my brain is, which explains why i have shit concentration, but it’s getting better and oddly enough, i’m looking forward to study each time i wake up. Yes, it may seem like doing nothing is miserable but it’s really not, you just become more “aware” overtime, and that’s good
